Addressing increased worldwide demand for diesel exhaust fluid, Yara’s new facility in Brunsbüttel, Germany, has production capacity of 1.1 million tons per year

Gainesville, GA – February 19, 2018 – Mansfield Energy Corp, a leading North American energy supply and logistics provider, announced today Yara International ASA, Mansfield’s strategic supplier of DEF (diesel exhaust fluid), has opened the world’s largest DEF plant in Brunsbüttel, Germany. DEF is a fluid used to remove harmful NOx emissions from diesel engines and Yara is the global leading producer of DEF.

In 2010, the EPA passed the Clean Air Act which made heavy duty diesel engines comply with stringent emission regulations to reduce NOx emissions. The most efficient way to meet these regulations is to use SCR technology which requires DEF as the operating fluid. Boosting the demand for DEF, virtually all new diesel engines including semi-trucks, off road machinery, boats and an increasing number of diesel passenger cars, will use SCR technology.
